Daniel Cox v. Otis Engineering Corporation
Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit
Decided March 7, 1973No. 72-3256PublishedCited by 13 opinions
1Per curiam
Daniel Cox brought suit against Otis Engineering Corporation under the Jones Act, 46 U.S.C. § 688, and the General Maritime Law for injuries sustained while working as a wireman on the drilling barge, John Haywood. The District Court granted Otis’ motion for a summary judgment on the basis that Cox was not a seaman. We affirm.
Cox’s work as a wireline operator did not require him to be assigned to any particular drilling barge in the performance of his duties. Cox was to be on the John Haywood only for two days in performing his work as a wireman.
